All batteries have a drop in terminal voltage when on load, Li-ions are no different. I suspect that the EN-EL4 is quoted open circuit and the EN-EL18 on load. The difference is 2.7% well within an acceptable voltage range for the vast majority of electronic devices.
A voltage regulator may well be incorporated but the motors won't be adversely affected by changes in voltage. With a battery voltage around 11 Volts, and I suspect most of the electronics runs at 5 or 6 Volts, regulation would be required to provide the correct voltage to the electronics.
That is what I was thinking about , thank You for the confirmation Geof.
The Electronics running on a Particular Lower Voltage , would that not be Indicated by the recommended Flash-Voltage , was it 6 Volts and No-more that Nikon specifies for their Digital camera`s , or Fried electronics would be the result...therefor rendering elder Flashes Obsolete.
Someone told me , that there is a Difference between Hot shoe output vs. Flash-nipple on a Digital camera, the flas-nipple being an El.magnetic switch capable of handling several Hundred volts..Not willing to put his sayings to the test , Risking a camera-funeral...
Could it be true nonetheless ??
